    Loving the game so far! But I had one question, my party was wiped out once and rezzing everyone was shockingly expensive... is this how it's meant to be? Makes me want to avoid risk more, that's for sure.

    Ohh,happy to see a dev here,I wanted to say thank you for making this game,but had no idea how to contact you guys :)

    I got it yesterday and played 2+ hours straight before going to bed,so as you can see I had tons of fun...love the style,dialogs,quirky humor and gameplay...some quests might become a tad grindy at times (expecially if,like me,one is very cautious with fights) but it never detracts from the fun.

    There's a few english mistakes,yeah,but honestly nothing really bad or that would lower one's enjoyment for the game,so don't worry there mate.

    And kudos for the reference to Journey :D

    Looking forward to more campaigns and content from you guys!

    I like.

    Oh, how I like. This might be the first time in a while there is more than one game I would vote for on the GOTW.

    Blacksmith is kinda broken at low levels. I wasted the 140 gold I spent over an hour or so getting on trying to upgrade something twice and both failed. Blacksmith didn't even gain exp. Seems like a waste of gold.

    Besides my rant I think the game is pretty great albeit grindy a lot.

    Paranoia was good for a laugh, thank god for clones. Books themselves were brilliant to flick through too.

    I would also be willing to assist with the English translations.

    Other than that and the ridiculous price and time for blacksmith upgrades, great game so far!

    Are the blacksmith upgrades permanent?

    Like, I just bought an upgrade for my rogue's weapon - will that persist across games?
    If not... I don't really see an excuse for the 7 hour wait.
    Same with the Blacksmith and Enchanter store level-ups...

    Potential spoiler on grindstones and mushrooms, in case you don't know about it.

    You can get grindstones in the Devil's Den, by clicking the rocks that are shining. You get a dice roll for each rock, one new rock every 2h, up to a maximum of 4 at once. The same with mushrooms in the forests. It's just a way for you to balance blacksmith upgrades and risk.

    Also, you can abandon quests, and go back to them at a later stage. This was useful for me when doing the "Collect" quests that jumped from level 5 Apples, to level 16 carrots - which I wasn't able to do. I abandoned them and then came back when my party was ready.

    Sounds like the best way to enjoy the game is to be a non-native English speaker! Lucky me, I am German, so I usually don't notice most translation errors. But I'd give a sh!t anyway. The game is just too much fun, so the translation is "bearable". ;)

    spoiler #1 about blacksmiths:
    it's not just in the Den of Devil, it's on every den/dungeon in game, every 2 hours, tap the mining vein and you'll have a chance to gather 1 grindstone. same thing to the mushrooms to upgrade your enchanter, every 2 hours, tap the shinning mushroom on every forest and you'll have a chance to gather 1 mushroom

    spoiler #2 about carrots lvl 16:
    you can buy all 20 carrots needed for 40 gold in the enchanter shop, just tap on the item 20 times. haha

    spoiler #3 about carrots lvl 16:
    that's the last quest to unlock the hunter class

    :)

    For you guys that stepped ahead for the localization thing, thanks a lot.

    I was so afraid to use a mention from a '1992 game because it didn't sound very right and I thought people wouldn't remember the reference, so, another spoiler (campaign spoiler):
    a npc in an specific moment says: "Welcome to die!" from x-men arcade (1992).

    Looks great but I'm worried about the IAP, is it necessary to enjoy the game?

    Since I'm one of the devs you may find suspicious if I just say "you don't need iap to enjoy the game". So I encourage you to read previous posts, more people were worried about this too. :3

    What a brilliant concept for a game ! Bravo. While I was won out by the smart game play of ARC squadron this game has actually taken up more of my time, very addictive. I hope the dev(s) get richly rewarded for such innovation , humour and obvious love for the genre.

    There seems a ton of game play in there too, altough i have only scratched the surface. Thoroughly recommended.

    Haha, you're devious :D

    And yes, I already have the hunter class, and I've defeated you guys in game. Then I purchased the second campaign and started it with you and one of your colleagues, but didn't play it ;)

    One question: is the second campaign a real campaign with a story? I find the story to be one of the best parts of the game, which keeps me going. I hope the future campaigns will have a fun and long story as well :)

    Also, please make sure that the translation doesn't lose your sense of humor, please review it before publishing it!

    Cheers,
    Paulo

    We were going to release without the second campaign but then we realized that we could show whoever bought it that the game can be much different than a single rpg campaign with lots of texts. So the second campaign is all about leaderboards and competing with friends. We, devs, spent enough time competing with ourselves during the first campaign so we found it funny enough to make it. More will come, definitely. The game is flexible in a way we can make lots of campaigns either short or long with different purposes (like #1 and #2).

    Yes! Let's hope not! :D

    ...I'm playing it on Android for the past week - I actually have sent you guys some emails for bugs and such :) - so just to make this clear:

    - does the second campaign have an actual end?
    - are there leaderboards in Android as well?

    Cheers, and congrats - I'm happy that the game is being so well received!
